Fox News: Airlines eye weight-based fees: Will heavier passengers pay more?
American Airlines initiated checked bag fees in 2008, leading to a trend among airlines. A debate has emerged on whether airlines should adopt weight-based pricing to cut fuel consumption and emissions. Finnair is testing weight data collection to inform future operations.

The Telegraph: Hamas’s hostage body switch plumbs new depths of depravity
Hamas returned four coffins, including those of murdered children Ariel and Kfir Bibas, to Israel, prompting celebrations in Gaza. The group reportedly substituted the body of the children's mother with that of an anonymous Gazan, further tormenting the grieving family.
While Hamas's actions are condemned as evil, some groups, like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, remain silent, revealing a deep-seated hatred. The ongoing conflict is framed as a struggle against Jews, with demonstrations often reflecting animosity rather than support for Palestinian rights.
Fox News: California school district informs parents period products are in bathrooms for 'any student who menstruates'
California's Long Beach Unified School District will provide menstrual products in bathrooms for grades 3-12, including girls', all-gender, and at least one boys' bathroom. This follows the "Menstrual Equality for All Act," which mandates access to these products by the 2024-2025 school year.

The Federalist: Someone Please Teach The Birds & Bees To The Washington Post
The Washington Post has faced criticism for its handling of fundamental biological concepts, including the definition of sex. Following President Trump's executive order recognizing two sexes, the Post sought expert opinions that contradicted this binary understanding, leading to claims that sex is more complex than male and female.
Critics argue that the Post's reliance on experts to challenge widely accepted views reflects a misunderstanding of basic human biology. They assert that sex is determined at conception, regardless of later anatomical developments, and emphasize that the existence of rare chromosomal abnormalities does not negate the binary classification of sex.

GB News: Dementia: Landmark study determines how much exercise can lower your risk by 69%
Research from Johns Hopkins indicates that just 35 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per week can reduce dementia risk by 41% in older adults. The study, involving nearly 90,000 UK participants, found that increased physical activity correlates with greater reductions in dementia risk.
Participants who engaged in more exercise saw even larger decreases: 60% for 35-69.9 minutes, 63% for 70-139.9 minutes, and 69% for 140 minutes or more weekly. This suggests that even minimal exercise can significantly benefit older adults, including those who are frail.
